It’d probably be easier if there wasn’t a radical right wing government there.

While there are certainly shitty, bigoted reasons to be anti-Israel, there are a fuckton more undeniably good reasons to be anti-Israel.
The distinction is hating the government specifically. It’s unlikely a bigot would hate the government, but not the people.
The distinction is hating the fascist ideology (zionism) specifically.
There are anti-zionists within the regime trying to make improvements.

Although it seems extremely unlikely, the government could be reformed or replaced. But (like any form of fascism) the genocidal, supremacist, colonial ideology of zionism is irredeemable.
His job is to represent the people of NY in the Senate.
Which he’s been doing piss poor at, of course.
It’s so cute when liberals think that they’re leftists.
all liberals aren’t leftists, but all leftists…
or are you saying that a consevative agenda is leftist?
Liberalism is a right-wing ideology, full stop.
When I responded I had read liberal as progressive and responded accordingly, I’m not certain what happened in my brain but my response makes no sense reading it now. Sorry about that.
Imagine a French politician saying my job is to keep my constituency pro-Japan (or any other country).
I live in Japan and plan to retire here and I’d still say ‘wtf are you doing?!’
You’re failing spectacularly.
“I am bought and paid for by the Israeli government”
He’s also completely failing at this task. His job is to keep neoliberals (e.g. the average corporate brainwashed Democrat) pro-Israel.
Don’t need much work I’m a leftist and no one will ever verify catch me being an antisemitic bot in favor of Hamas
Genocide apologist. Bad leftist. Palestinians are a semitic people. Equating all of them to Hamas is antisemitism.
Man hamas bots are insane, they managed to fake kill many people to make the UN and ICJ start a genocide producers against Israel. Poor Israel… /s
For real though, Zionists still bringing up “Pallywood” after the entire Gaza strip is flattened in 4K shows how bonkers insane they are. And how bad their propaganda has gotten.
Is demanding a ceasefire and putting an arms embargo on Israel until it does make you an anti-semetic bot in favor of hamas? Because those are the people Schumer thinks are the enemies of Israel.

I wonder if that quote could cause him to face the consequences he deserves at some point in the future.
That person is such a disappointment.
Why?
Becau$e.
Disclaimer in case it’s necessary:Not meant to invoke an antisemitic trope, meant to point out a reality of American politics in general and Schumer in particular. Him being Jewish has nothing to do with his greed, but him being a corrupt politician does.
You are not antisemitic just because you are anti genocide.
My point exactly.
Some ACTUAL antisemites believe or pretend to believe all sorts of tropes about “inherently greedy jews”, though, so felt the need to distance myself from that kind of nonsense just in case someone got the wrong idea 🤷
Also nation states are not a people the Jewish people are not to blame just because they are Jewish. Only the actions of the few people in their government and the people that support them. Them being Jewish has nothing to do with it.
